Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 725 Rangers and Gentlemen

In the county town of Pingyuan, in the season when all things germinate in early spring, the spring is warm and flowers are blooming, all things are revived, and it is the season of spring again. Liu Bei's mind is like a wild cat in spring, as if there are millions of claws that don't stop scratching his heart.

  This is a heart-pounding season, especially when Liu Bei read Tai Shigong's book, he seemed to hear the groaning in his heart, oh, wrong, calling...

  When Taizu Liu Bang set foot on that road, he was just a pavilion chief, but now Liu Bei himself is the prime minister of a country. Isn’t it better than that in the early Han Dynasty?

  Although Pingyuan Country, hehe, even though it is called a country, it’s just that. It’s not much better than a so-called county town, but at least it’s considered a regular plain country, isn’t it?

  Even if someone sees him, he must be called Mr. Liu...

  If Liu Bei hadn’t met Gongsun Zan before Liu Bei, maybe Liu Bei would have settled in the plains to his heart’s content, educated the people’s livelihood, and took care of the fields, but now…

  Maybe it’s not all because of Gongsun Zan, maybe it’s not after he arrived in Youzhou that he had such an idea, maybe it was when he was in Suanzao, maybe it started when he wasn’t even qualified to sit in the big tent of the Chinese army...

   "Dong Gong is the only one who is strong in the world?" Liu Bei murmured this sentence in his heart, and then he added another sentence secretly, "Is it only Duke Yuan who is strong in the world?"

   Liu Bei looked at the north, as if looking at the land in the north, with deep eyes, and said: "General Gongsun has sent a letter..."

   Guan Yu said, "What are you talking about?"

   "...Let us organize our troops to calm the people, and follow the order of Tian Shishi..." Liu Bei said.

  Guan Yu pondered for a while, then said, "Could it be... something changed?"

  Tian Kai is currently Gongsun Zanbiao’s governor of Qingzhou, so naturally he belongs to Liu Bei’s superior. It is a matter of course for Liu Bei to obey Tian Kai’s orders, so why emphasize it again in the letter?

Although Gongsun Zan is now a Marquis, he is actually still a knight-errant. Simply speaking, his attitude towards Liu Bei is basically out of loyalty. He first welcomes and accepts Liu Bei, and then when he sees that Liu Bei lacks armor, he immediately assigns a team of cavalry to come. Follow Liu Bei's orders.

  The relationship between Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan is just a short-term friendship under Lu Zhi's door...

   It can be said that the righteousness is unparalleled. Of course, this righteousness is also for both parties, and it is not free. Now it is time for Liu Bei to repay this righteousness.

   "Bogui is about to go south..." Liu Bei sighed.

  Gongsun Zan sent Tian Kai and Liu Bei here for nothing more than to drive a nail behind Yuan Shao. Now that he is ready to do something, of course he has to inform Tian Kai and Liu Bei.

  Liu Bei slightly said with some admiration: "Bogui is far-sighted, I can't wait."

   Now that Gongsun Zan is going south, he will face Yuan Shao first, but he is not only facing Yuan Shao, but also the status level gap between rangers and nobles that has been formed since Liu Xiu...

The nobles do not oppose rangers, and sometimes they even get close to rangers, praise rangers, and to a certain extent give green light to ranger's various illegal acts and provide shelter. Even so, ranger is always a ranger, a knife, and a sword. Jian, absolutely cannot become a person, become a son of a noble family.

  In the minds of the vast majority of gentry children, the best place for rangers is to guard the country at the frontier, just like Gongsun Zan, but if it affects the status of gentry children in turn, this kind of behavior is unacceptable...

   Didn’t Gongsun Zan know?

When Gongsun Zan's younger brother died inexplicably, he still didn't dare to directly put Yuan Shu on the opposing side. Instead, he smashed his teeth and swallowed him. He still maintained a good relationship with Yuan Shu, but he started to attack Yuan Shao. Couldn't it be Explain something?

  Gongsun Bogui...

For Liu Bei, it would be better if Gongsun Zan would keep him as his confidant and display his military talents in his hometown Youzhou. Raid Qingzhou, looking for opportunities in the tempering.

   "According to the time, the third brother should probably return, right?" Liu Bei said.

   Guan Yu nodded, and said: "There was a report the day before yesterday, saying that the bandit stronghold had been broken, and they should be back soon..."

  Because Qingzhou still has Zang Hong.

  After the Suanzao League, Zhang Chao couldn't go back to Guangling, so he stayed in Chenliu and sent Zang Hong to Youzhou to contact Liu Yu.

From south to north, Zang Hong naturally had to pass through Jizhou, so he met Yuan Shao. Perhaps it was the words he spoke for Yuan Shao at the meeting. Yuan Shao also valued Zang Hong's talent when he saw Zang Hong. He died, so Yuan Shao appointed Zang Hong as the governor of Qingzhou.

  So now in Qingzhou, there are also two governors, one ordered by Yuan Shao and one ordered by Gongsun Zan.

  Gongsun Zan ordered Tian Kai to do something behind Yuan Shao, and naturally Yuan Shao also arranged for Zang Hong to restrain him. Liu Bei preemptively began to continuously expand the scope of the elimination of bandits. In fact, he was also worried that these bandits would become a hidden danger in the rear in case of a battle with Zang Hong.

   Not only is there two people in the governor of Qingzhou, but even Prime Minister Ping Yuan, there are still two people. Besides Liu Bei, there is another person, Chen Ji.

  However, Chen Ji is only a celebrity in the world. Naturally, there is no problem in handling government affairs, but he doesn't have much ability to command the army. Therefore, the bandits he survived during this period of time actually made Liu Bei's reputation.

Prime Minister Ping Yuan is interesting now. One Chen Ji is in charge of administration and the other Liu Bei is in charge of military affairs. It seems that there will be problems. Perhaps it is because of Liu Bei's humble attitude in front of Chen Ji, so in fact the relationship between Chen Ji and Liu Bei is not. It would be as bad as imagined.

In Chen Ji's heart, Liu Bei is still a well-known ranger and a border warrior. Although the common people began to be called "benevolence and righteousness", in fact it has not changed much. The gentry is still a gentry. When scholars held any literary conferences, they could hardly think of Liu Bei as a figure.

Liu Bei and Guan Yu said: "When the third brother comes back, I won't go out again. I will do my best to train the soldiers and allocate military resources." The battle between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao is about to begin, and maybe Zang Hong will come with troops in a few days Attack, had to prepare in advance.

  Although Liu Bei is very touched, the current situation cannot make him change immediately. Maybe let's see how far Bo Gui can go...

Guan Yu nodded silently. With the tacit understanding between him and Liu Bei, there are many things that don't need to be said too clearly. He will naturally understand Liu Bei's meaning, but Guan Yu believes that the faith pursued by the ranger is his belief. What would be good if they said they were aboveboard, but in fact they were all male thieves and female prostitutes?

   According to the historical situation:

   Guan Yu should be a ranger from beginning to end...

   Zhang Fei should be a combination of a ranger and a poor family...

   Liu Bei is an example of a humble family becoming a wealthy family...

   When you are poor and down, naturally there are not many conflicts of interest, but...

   Therefore, in the later stage of Jingzhou, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei no longer resonated in the same bed as they did at the beginning, and fell asleep on their feet...
